Many years passed, and I was living in Ohio with my father, involved in a relationship with a nice guy,
 but I knew he wasn't my Soulmate.

One day I got an instant message on my computer,
and it was Clay.
  We hadn't had any contact in over 4 years.
  The online communication started out friendly,
 but it wasn't long before we both started feeling that there was a reason he found me.
  We talked on the phone, corresponded through snail mail, exchanged pictures, and gifts.
   He admitted that he had been attracted to me so many years before.
It was obvious that I couldn't remain in my current relationship with the feelings I was developing for Clay. 

Clay purchased me an airplane ticket to come visit him in North Carolina(where he was working for the summer).
  We both had to know if this was just an internet infatuation,
 or more.
  The minute I walked off the plane,
 we both knew.
  It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.
  I was scared before I got there,
 but once I was in his arms,
 everything that had gone wrong in my life seemed to disappear.

The week that followed was magnificent.
  When it came time for me to fly back to Ohio it was torture.
  We both knew we wanted a future together.
  The question was, how and when?
  I still lived at home with my father,
 and Clay was in college at Mississippi State University.
  Less than 2 weeks after I got back,
 we decided we couldn't live apart.
   I was going to move to Mississippi to be with him.
  I had a semester of college that I had to finish, but the plans were underway. 

I look forward to our future together.
  We hope to start a family in a couple of years.
  I know that no matter what comes our way,
 as long as we have each other, we will thrive.
